Children are more curious than adults and like learning about different things. As parents, it is our duty to broaden our children's knowledge, give them educated answers so judgemental ideas aren't passed to future generations.
Although the world is full of different cultures, there are lots of stereotypes, ignorance and racial/cultural/religious discrimination. Yes this still exists even in a place like Canada that has become a nation made mostly by immigrants.
Teaching our children about other cultures and making them aware is a social responsibility.
